DO NOT BUY!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2005-08-27

I bought this dvd player about 2 years ago and I also bought it with a case so it would be protected...or not. This dvd player is literally made out of garbage. The plastice hinges where the screen is held broke off so now it is just hanging by two wires. The compartment also broke off where the dvd is put in. Also, if you do not use the so-called "2.5 hour" (which at the most I can get out of it is 1.5 hours) battery within two days when you last used it, then the battery will die. Also what I've noticed is if you tap the compartment where the dvd is place in it will start the movie over, and the movie sometimes just goes blank when I'm in the middle of watching it. Bottom line is that no one should by this dvd player. You're better off with some other company that makes better dvd players.

A Nice Little Totable DVD Player.......2005-03-20

This dvd player is great for the price (I did not buy thru Amazon, but I am a happy Amazon customer) Picture quality is good, sound quality could be better, (but for the price I paid, I'm not complaining...) and overall I believe I got my money's worth since I only use it at work. I'm having a blast with this player!!!
The only problem I seem to be having is the unit heats up during playback and I have to let it cool off between discs for fear that it might overheat and cause damage to the "guts" of the machine. If anyone knows how to remedy this please let me know! :)

Inexpensive, but does all that is advertised. Works great!.......2005-01-29

Like the last reviewer, I do not understand the negative reviews on this product either. The Player is a low-end player, but does the job asked to do (plays DVDs) at a very reasonable price. It has a 4:3 format screen and it is not progressive scan. If you want those features, you're not going to find it at this price point (so stop complaining about them).

The picture quality looks fine to me when played on the 5" screen (I've never plugged it into a TV). Widescreen movies play in letterbox on the screen and make the image a little smaller, but on an airplane or in the back of a car this is still perfect size (especially if you are stuck in coach/economy, like I usually am).

Battery life is short ( < 2.0 hours), true... so use the car cable or AC adapter (can I say "duh" here). If you need this on a flight I'd recommend picking up the RB-270 extended battery (5400mah) or the RB-Li06 (3600mAH) battery that came with the older 9510-series. For some reason Initial went cheap and lowered the battery on the 9530 to 2200mAH. Batteries only range from 25-50 dollars, and cosidering how inexpensive the player is, adding an extra battery just improves the overall usefulness of this device. You can find this this player and the 6-hour battery for the price of most other players on the market that only have 2.5-3.0 hour battery life standard. I get close to 8 hours (total), for the price of 2.5 hours players. Hard to beat that!

The bottom line: this is perfect for travel, inexpensive, and I have no problem recommending this device. It works for me. Pick one up when it goes on sale, and you'll be happy too.

Great value under rugged use.......2005-01-24

I never write reviews, but the negative takes on this product prompted me to defend it. We've been using ours for a year under very rugged conditions: 4 and 2 year olds watch it while mommy is cooking dinner. The unit has been subject to sticky fingers, spilled juice, several hard knocks, travelling around in a diaper bag--and it's been working great. Only problem is the short battery life: 1.5 hours. Maybe the screen and sound quality could be better, but they are just right for kiddie DVDs.

4:3 Widescreen??.......2004-10-30

Product ad copy writers who know nothing about the technology they are writing about, should be out looking for a new job. 4:3 is FULLscreen, NOT WIDEscreen. This is NOT the original format of DVDs. In fact, even the 16:9 ratio is slightly less than the typical DVD movie aspect ratio. I'm sure the people from the Initial Co. gave the product specs to Amazon, so they are the ones getting 1 star from me.

disappointed by d-link.......2006-11-04

The card is good but the router is of bad quality. In daily use I have to restart the router irregularly to make it work.

Moreover, the rebate didn't go through and I had to resubmit the same supporting documents to request rebate check.

Good but not the best.......2006-02-27

I am not a networking pro, but just wanted to use Wireless as I got my office laptop in addition to my personal laptop at home, as I needed an IP splitter anyway. This device, being a combo and at a decent price immeidately caught my attention and I bought it inspite of my friedns' warnings against D-link.

The setup of the base unit was easy but as soon as I installed the card, I figured that something went wrong. After a 2 hours discussion with cust-support, I was told that I would have to use Static IP addresses on both PCs to connect to internet, as the DNS server of the Base unit had some issues. That is fine as long as my both pcs are used at home, but I have to change my network setting everytime (to autodetect an IP address) whenever I have to take my PC out or if someone bring another device to my home. I happened to change my service provider and discovered that the TCP/IP setting of my main PC had corrupted and needed reinstallation.

Other than that, its been working fine since last 2-3 months. Not a single dropped connection. It works at a consistent high speed. I would say its a good value for money if, unlike me, you know how to use it.

Good operation for the price!.......2006-02-22

Pros: Installation was easy, no jamming, always recovers itself after energy blackouts. Cons: Poor signal across concrete homes. In such conditions you may need to get a repeter.

Fair price nicer performance.......2005-09-26

This is a fair priced equipment, nice for homes and regular internet activity, work's best with windows xp, i took it out of the box follow the easy instructions and had it working properly withing 45 minutes, be shure to know what expecific plan you're isp gives you to properly configure the router.

Not for Win 98 users!!!.......2005-06-10

I've had a HORRIBLE experience with the wireless card in this networking kit--all because my laptop runs on Win 98 SE! Although it claims to work with Windows 98 SE, the software has a flaw that can't find a .dll file to make the card work. I've spent hours trying to come up with a fix and I finally contacted DLink for tech help. (...) Before buying this product, read all about the problem this product has with Win 98 and decide if you really want the headache. I solved my problem by purchasing another card that said it worked with Win 98 and actually did. I had it running at a Dell store in minutes. Disregard what the box says. Only use if you run Win 2000 or higher! It seems to work really well with XP.

Product Description

JVC's new line-up of widescreen high definition flat panel displays gives new dimension to home theater, literally. JVC's modest line-up of panels was not only engineered to excite the most extreme audiovisual enthusiasts, but also to influence the creative minds of the most discriminating home decorators. JVC's very first 42" XGA Plasma television fresh with new stylish cosmetics that takes into consideration every feature the demanding digital customer is looking for now and for the future, and it delivers. It offers a 3000: 1 contrast ratio, and also offers features like D.I.S.T. (Digital Image Scaling Technology) 480p, a JVC exclusive 4 Point Color Management Circuitry, a new (DSD) Digital Super Detail High End Edge Correction Circuitry, Velocity Scan Modulation with On/Off, TheaterPro 6500K Color Temperature, BBE High Definition Audio and a new Advanced HyperSurround make this unit a must have.

Amazon.com Product Description

The sleek, perfectly flat exterior of JVC's 42-inch PD-42WV74 plasma TV belies its rich and varied feature set. An incredible 3,000:1 contrast ratio and features like DIST (Digital Image Scaling Technology) 480p ensure that the set's picture quality is nothing short of smooth, detailed, and strikingly vivid.

With its 853 x 480 native pixel resolution, the PD-42WV74 is an EDTV monitor, which means it takes you a step closer to high-definition TV than standard TVs. It's compatible with full HDTV signals, however: when used with a progressive-scan DVD player, high-resolution satellite receiver, or DTV set-top box, it will deliver seamless, razor-sharp images from your favorite movies and concert videos. An HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) enabled DVI input for a direct-digital connection with your HD source component.

With a plasma screen you get vivid colors like you've never seen before, extremely wide viewing angles (wider, even, than those of most LCD screens), and easy placement due to a plasma monitor's slim profile--the PD-42WV74 is a mere 4.25 inches deep, perfect for desk or wall mounting. (It comes with a matching pedestal stand for desk or table positioning.) Brightness tends to be extremely uniform across plasma screens, which are also impervious to the picture distortion and negative color balances that afflict CRT monitors when placed near lighting or sound systems.

The set's 16:9 aspect ratio is specially configured to match the dimensions of HDTV broadcasts and your favorite movies. Choose from panorama, cinema, full, and regular aspect modes, depending on your viewing. You also get JVC-exclusive digital four-point color-management circuitry and high-end Digital Super Detail (DSD) edge-correction circuitry. Selectable velocity scan modulation improves the definition at picture edges, creating sharper images by slowing the horizontal scanning during demanding work--say, when rendering transitions from light to dark parts of an image--and speeding it up when scanning easily rendered sections, like broad dark areas.

The PD-42WV74 also performs 3:2 pulldown detection using JVC's Natural Cinema feature. DVD mastering introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; reverse 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this distortion, removing the redundant information to display a film-frame-accurate picture.

Other technologies include White Character Correction circuitry, Auto VNR (video noise reduction), Digital Noise Clear circuitry, and black-level expansion. A choice of five video status modes (Theater, Dynamic, Game, Standard, and TheaterPro D6500K) let you tailor the image to your presentation and environment.

For viewing conveniences, you'll love the set's high-contrast, icon-based onscreen display, interactive plug-in menu, single-tuner split-screen PIP (with zoom, POP, and 12-channel multi-indexing), XDS channel ID display, XDS auto clock set, multi-function timer, sleep timer, 10-minute auto shut-off, parental controls (including front-panel lock, V-Chip, and channel guard), and hyper-scan high-speed channel changer with Return+.

And how does it sound? Just wait 'til you hear the set's unobtrusive stereo (left/right) speakers and built-in, bottom-ported subwoofer, all powered by a hefty 12 watts per channel x 3. Active Hyper Bass beefs up the set's low-end sound, BBE High Definition Audio improves speech intelligibility and restores the dynamic range of compressed musical passages, and Advanced HyperSurround simulates enveloping surround sound from any two speakers.

Connections include the above-mentioned DVI input, 2 auto-sensing HD component-video inputs, 3 S-video inputs, 4 composite-video-based AV inputs, and an RF input. The set comes with an outboard tuner box that houses most video connections and its cable-ready NTSC tuner, while the supplied EL-based (electro luminescence) illuminated universal remote operates the PD-42WV74 and most other home-entertainment components.

What's in the Box
TV, pedestal stand, tuner box, tuner-box connection cable, a remote control, remote batteries, a user's manual, and warranty information.
